Millennium Falcon

Description

Why the Falcon works at any size

The Millennium Falcon has one of the most distinctive outlines in film: a round, flat hull with the cockpit pushed out to one side and two prongs at the front. Because that shape is so familiar, even a very small model can capture it as long as the proportions are right. Han Solo and Chewbacca fly it through the original trilogy, and Rey takes the controls in The Force Awakens, so the ship connects almost every era of the saga.

Sixteen elements in twenty pieces

Of the 20 pieces, 16 are distinct elements, so only a few repeat. That makes the short build varied, with each step adding something new rather than stacking identical plates. Children can manage it on their own, while adults may enjoy working out how a curved hull is suggested with square bricks. It is done within minutes and small enough to sit beside a keyboard, on a windowsill or in a display case full of other micro builds.

Two transparent colours

The main colours are light bluish grey, trans-clear, white and trans-light blue. The grey and white match the worn, pale hull the Falcon has on screen. What stands out is that half of the main colours are transparent, which is unusual for a set this small. Transparent parts are always in demand for your own creations, whether for windows, lights or engine effects, and they are often the pieces a mixed collection runs short of first.

One of many Falcons

The Millennium Falcon has been made in many sizes over the years, from tiny builds like this one to large display models. If you collect several versions, the parts list on this page helps keep this one separate, with all 16 elements, colours and quantities listed. In Bricoria, What can I build? checks your collection against the catalogue and shows which sets you can already complete, which is handy when you are hunting for another Falcon to put beside it.
